Might be willing to consider on a technicality, but it violates the spirit.<br /><br />As for Cardinal, I had the same question back when this first was posed to me as a bar-room trivia question.<br /><br />Cardinal actually is the color, directly violating a rule.<br /><br />The tree is the mascot, unrelated to the nickname. The nickname is entirely about the color, not unlike Harvard Crimson, North Texas Mean Green or Cornell Big Red.DanShanoff.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126386161198401693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-29684440455733620492009-06-30T16:47:34.417-04:002009-06-30T16:47:34.417-04:00Dan-

It&#39;s not a color - although a color modifies it.
